Friday Flash 55....

It starts with a splash here...
And a splash there!
Slowly the lush forests transforms...
With a Firey crescendo!!
The once GreenVistas suddenly are Ablaze
with Red, Yellow, and Orange...
For a few weeks, the State is a Kaleidoscope of Colors
in it's Autumnal Glory!!
It is Spectacular!
It is Fall!!
It is Michigan!!!

    Ah yes, fall in Michigan. The bad thing, I had a tree start to turn about 3 to 4 weeks ago. Now it has friends. I sure hope we have a nice show this year but I fear the dryness of the summer may not help. Of course the warm days and cool nights are working in our favor.

    Very nice 55.

    Nice job, G! I think we still have a couple of weeks of summer left around here. Fall is fleeting- sometimes if you blink you miss it! Have a great weekend! xoxox

    Thanks Lisa,
    Yes, as a matter of fact!!..xoxox

    Barman,
    Thanks...But actually.
    The phenomena that changes the color of the leaves, is the shorter amount of Sunlight!
    The lack of photosynthesis!
    So that will never change the cycle!..Have a great weekend brother.

    Cazzie,
    My Faithful Friday Follower!!
    Thanks sweetie..xox

    Terry,
    Thanks for being so active this week...I really enjoy your input and your visits..xoxox

    Jadey..
    Hi Sweetie, you don't rake leaves in Southern California...do you?
    Thanks xoxoxox

    Susie-Cue...

    My favourite part is the crunch of all the leaves underneath your shoes as you stroll down the street.

    It's too much fun.

    I take my headphones off just to hear it.

    Fall is my favorite time of year too.

    Just lovely, Galen, lovely.


    Jazzy, you crack me up.

    Please stop talking about sticking corn cobs up your ass because your getting me COMPLETELY hot and bothered over here.

    You have no idea.

    I hope you used butter.

    Or a butter substitute of some sort.

    Like Country Crack.

    I mean crock.
